re: Supreme Court agrees to review Trump’s Colorado ballot ban in historic case

quote:

He did not - there were no disputes about electoral votes that needed adjudication.

Sorry, but IAW with EC rules and the Constitution, if Pence chose to not open the envelopes in question, the outcome determination would have been forwarded to the HOR for adjudication. Whatever the HOR found would stand as the final electoral result.

Let's repeat that last part, because you're a little slow on the uptake. If Pence did not open the envelopes in question, the result would have been forwarded to the HOR for adjudication. Whatever the HOR found would stand as the final electoral result.

So when Trump refers to Pence "doing the right thing," leaving the controversial envelopes unopened and asking the HOR to review the election is the point of reference.
